Buffs have two things that extend their duration - the sustain enhancement and the extend buff.

Potions however only have the brewing master buff to increase their length...

How about a second buff or another enhancement similar to sustain that would work on potions?

In conjunction with brewmaster that would be fun. Of course then everyone will ask for a skill to work like fury caster

no buff needed for fury shrine is one has the pumpkin set.

i like phool's idea... seems only fair, plus will mix things up a bit!

yes, but a skill to increase the levels by another 25.

So the way phool has it, is that having an enhancement for potions to make them last longer in conjunction with BM making it last EVEN longer.

So in turn why not have Fury caster maxed gives you +25 levels and then a skill that adds levels on top of that for levels that you cast.

Hey mate don't hijack me thread lol... I don't really see how this applies to my nemesis (aka the fury shrine) and I don't really want to know in this thread hehe...

This thread is about bringing potions up to the same level as buffs. That is, buffs have the sustain enhancement and extend buff to increase their duration. Potions have the brewing master buff to extend their life. I was proposing that a new enhancement be brought in (the equivalent of sustain) to prolong the life of potions...

I have a love-hate history with fury-caster and would prefer not to have this thread hijacked with discussions of ways to further extend it hehe...

Yeah why not, make it a potion instead of a buff though :)

No.

:D

Just to mess with Phool.

Edit: Seriously though, I don't think a second buff is needed, and god forbid an enhancement :P Extend is usually unprofitable, you'd like to destroy BM too? Come on.

A huge level BM would be anti gold sink, so it probably won't happen...

I don't see what problem an enhancement that extended the duration of potions by say 5 or 10% (20% tops) would bring to the game?

It certainly wouldn't be a game-breaker and it would probably be a decent gold sink... especially if a guild had to build an expensive structure to get it...

I agree with phool. as some of the potions has way too low duration, and you have to use 2-3 to get through stamina

I'd really like this... why not make it a structure... all guilds would then need 75 moar fsp and gold would get sunk from teh game too...

I like this idea as long as the enhancement is not overpowering
but I want to go back to what I think Rulen was saying:

if we add an enhancement to extend potion durations (to balance the sustain enhancement)

why not add an enhancement to increase the potency (to balance the fury caster enhancement)

Good idea.

On a semi related note: Why isn't there a Shield Imp 1000 potion?

having another structure for an enhancement that extends potion durations would be a good gold sink. i do like the idea about a high level BM potion do. id like it even more if it was inventable but having it as a 'special' potion would probably be a better gold sink.

*thumbs up*.....we need something. it would be great to get those super low potion durations up over an hour.
